It's Sketch week over at Simply Stampin and here is what we came up with for you:

A really great sketch and here is my DT entry:

Now I wanted to use soft subtle colours but for some reason I had a strange desire to use Concord Crush, not exactly soft or subtle! I think Pink Pirouette is probably a bit light for this colour combo but hey ho, I think it turned out ok (ish)

Well it's that time of year again when those lovely hearts make an appearance and here is my Valentine's offering and my DT entry for this week's Simply Stampin' Challenge:

I actually used this card for a workshop I did last week and the hostess wanted Valentines but in Rich Razzleberry rather than the usual reds and she didn't want it too lovey dovey, which I think I achieved!
